From Git to GitHub Foundations

In this episode of New Breakpoint, host Michelle Sandford (She/Her) is joined by Ayodeji Ayodele - Senior Customer Success Architect at GitHub and author of the GitHub Foundations Certification Guide.

Together they break down what developers actually need to know day‑to‑day: the difference between Git and GitHub, repo and collaboration hygiene, how to write (and review) pull requests that speed teams up, and where automation with GitHub Actions delivers quick wins.

They also dig into practical security foundations - including dependency, secret, and code scanning - plus how to use GitHub Copilot responsibly and how to get started contributing to open source.
